Coconut-Date Rice Krispy Balls image

I love making these no- bake date and nut treats in the summer because they only require about 5 min of cooking! Make sure the date mixture doesnt boil rapidly or it will curdle the egg!

I'm allergic to coconut, so I used chopped peanuts instead. They were still really good!

These are a lot of work to make and they're not really worth it.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my treats turned out too dry. I think I might have overcooked the marshmallows.

These are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good.

I added some chopped walnuts to mine for an extra crunch.

These are a great way to use up leftover rice krispies.

I was a bit hesitant to try these because I'm not a big fan of dates, but I was pleasantly surprised. The dates added a nice sweetness and chewiness to the treats.

These coconut date rice krispy balls were an absolute delight! The combination of sweet dates, crunchy rice krispies, and the nutty flavor of coconut was a perfect balance. They were so easy to make and a big hit with my family.
